have been of great public benefit, had it been so framed as to come into full operation. I express my doubts with very great reluctance, and am truly sorry it is so. LEGISLATIVE CHANGES. 1 & 2 VICT. c. 85. AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE USING IN ANY PART OF THE UNITED KINGDOM STAMPS DENOTING DUTIES PAYABLE IN GREAT BRITAIN AND IRE LAND RESPECTIVELY. [10TH AUGUST, 1838.] Stamps denoting duties Payable in one Part of the United Kingdom may be Used for Instruments liable to Stamp Duties Payable in any other Part. Proviso. Whereas under and by virtue of the laws in force separate and distinct stamps are used for denoting the stamp duties payable in Great Britain and Ireland respectively, and it is expedient to permit stamps denoting the duties payable on deeds or instruments in either of the said parts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, to be used for deeds or instruments liable to stamp duties payable in the other part of the said United Kingdom: Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, in this present parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, that from and after the passing of this act any deed or instrument liable to any stamp duty payable in either part of the said United Kingdom, and for or upon which any stamp or stamps denoting a stamp duty or stamp duties payable in the other part of the United Kingdom shall have been at any time heretofore or shall be at any time hereafter used, of equal or greater amount with or than the duty or duties chargeable by law upon or in respect of such deed or instrument, shall nevertheless be deemed valid and effectual in the law: Provided always, that nothing herein contained shall extend to authorize the using of any stamp denoting any of the Law, Chancery, or Exchequer fund duties in Ireland for any instrument other than such as is or shall be liable to the duty denoted by such stamp, nor to authorize the using for any instrument liable to any of the said last-mentioned duties any stamp other than such as is or may be provided and appropriated for denoting the duty to which such last-mentioned instrument is or may be liable, nor to authorize the using for any instrument any stamp specially appropriated to any other instrument, by having its name on the face thereof. Imprisonment for Debt.-It is worthy of remark that, under the New Rules of the Insolvent Debtors' Court, an attorney can be retained out of prison, the petition and schedule preparing for filing, and the other documents obtained. The brokers are authorized to value the excepted property (to the amount of 201.) of persons who are about to be taken in execution. And if the party do not petition within fourteen days after such valuation, then another valuation to be made at half the charge. Thus, on being taken to prison, the several documents, including the appraisement, being obtained, the petitioner's schethe filing is issued, and he can in a few days dule can be filed, and the order consequent on afterwards obtain his liberty on bail, and remain out of custody until the adjudication upon his case. By this process an applicant sustains but a very brief confinement.-Monthly Law Magazine, November. There were only four Bankruptcies announced in Tuesday Night's Gazette, and none of them in the metropolis. This is the second Gazette which has appeared in succession without a London Bankruptcy. Appointments.-Dr. Lushington, on the 18th October, was sworn into office and took his seat as Judge of the High Court of Admiralty, vacant by the death of Sir J. Nicholl. The salary is 2,5007. per annum. Anthony Oliphant, esq. to the Chief Justiceship of the Island of Ceylon. TO CORRESPONDENTS. The great space in our columns that the Court Business occupies, prevents the completing our own arrangements in this Number. We will attend to the communications in our next as far as we may have room at this busy season. We must, however, at starting, inform our friends that this Periodical being devoted to actual practice, only practical communications can be attended to.
